Maybe I am wrong, but it is no where close to 4 x that distance in a slower car likely going near posted speeds.

Swapping the switchblade key for a standard one evidently.

Will definitely be a total loss. Very sad day for me. I loved that car.
Not sure what I'll do next, maybe a C7 is in my future, but I may wait until they price the z/28.
Not sure if I want to post a photo or not
Was the "deer", aka "dear" on a cellphone?

Not knocking anyone or their driving abilities here as I know most times its just a reaction.

Sorry to hear about your car.

Had a couple cows on the interstate last night get hit, one man died and the other wasn't hurt. No report on the cows.

Wrote mine of also DAMM !!!!

Sorry for your loss man as I too can feel your pain.Middle of febuary here in Vancouver and I was cut off by a careless driver!! They didn't even stopped so I'm guessing they didn"t see my beautiful red 2013 sliding backwards after the car slammed into the concrete Highway divider. Not only did I walked away but I drove the car 5 miles !!! Yes no type O to my dealership. Looked bad but nowhere near bad enough like yours does to write it off. Anyway car is missed very much so......
